Menopause Support at Work
6 Week Menopause Support Programme for Employees
Talking about Menopause is welcome in organisations, but it is not enough.
​
Research studies have revealed that what female employees really value from their employers is educational support and practical tools that help them to deal with their most troublesome menopause symptoms.
​
Insomnia, fatigue, anxiety and brain fog are common, as well as menstrual issues that can be embarrassing, frustrating and downright inconvenient. This can have a profound impact on how they ‘show up’ at work and affect their productivity.
​
We provide a 6-week support programme that you can offer virtually or in-person to your employees. This programme places a particular emphasis on nutrition and stress management, two key areas where employees can take back some control.
Weekly Webinars for Menopause Education
These 1 hour sessions can be provided in-person or online depending on the needs of the group.
​
During each of the 6 weeks, employees will focus on different topics that will help them achieve better hormone balance.
This will enable them to self-manage any difficult symptoms and feel more equipped for the demands of life and work. Attendees can also raise their own questions in a non-judgemental environment.
The session topics include:
-
How female hormones work
-
The link between digestive health and hormone balance
-
Addressing brain fog
-
Easing anger, anxiety and insomnia
-
Protecting musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous system health post-menopause.
Lifestyle Guide for a Healthy Menopause
Each employee will receive a colourful and comprehensive guidebook (digital or hard-copy) to complement their attendance in the programme.
​
This guide can be very handy in the kitchen when preparing meals or in the supermarket when needing to check the best foods to buy.
The guidebook contains:
-
Healthy recipes
-
Useful shopping list organised by food category
-
Menu plans for different mealtimes
-
Advice on Sleep, Movement, Stress Management
-
Mindfulness activities
​
This handy lifestyle guide will continue to provide value for your employees long after the programme has finished.
​
Weekly Mindfulness Sessions
Mindfulness is a well proven method to reduce anxiety and improve coping ability in stressful times.
Practising mindfulness during menopause can make a huge difference to those going through this life transition.
​
During the 6 week programme, your employees will be invited to attend a weekly 30 minute guided mindfulness session. This usually takes place at the start of the working day and sets the participants up for a better day ahead.
These sessions provide:
​
-
A quick and easy way to improve mood and reduce anxiety
-
Educational insights about how the mind works
-
New skills that can be practised beyond the programme
-
Deeper levels of acceptance relating to body changes
​
Our sessions are run by an experienced and qualified Mindfulness Skills teacher.
